Strzelczyk

Strzelczyk is a summit 745 metres above sea level in the Karkonosze Foothills, between Karpacz and Miłków, on the eastern side of the range. It formerly carried the German name Koppenhübel.

The ridge and the forest

The top is built of Karkonosze granite and entirely wooded, with no exposed rocks or viewpoints. It lies on a side ridge that branches off from the summit of Czoło and continues further east, ending at the neighbouring rise of Strzelec.

The red trail

The red tourist trail from Karpacz to Grabowiec bypasses the top itself and runs along its western side, so Strzelczyk is visited mainly by people stepping off the main route for a moment into the forest.

From this area it is close to the Wang Temple.

The summit of Śnieżka is also relatively close from here, although that is a separate, longer expedition.

Practical information

• Location: the Karkonosze Foothills, between Karpacz and Miłków, Karkonosze County

• What to expect: an entirely wooded summit with no views, a point on a longer ridge route; nearby is the Dziki Wodospad waterfall
